“DEAR SIR: I hand you herewith annual balance sheet and statements of the accounts of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association for the year ending Dec. 31, 1900, after having completed the audit which was authorized by representatives of the Review and Herald Board. With the closing of the year, December 31, an inventory was taken of the funds on hand which was as follows: Currency, $4,910.10; post-office orders, $759.24; express orders, $389.50: total, $6,058.84. The amount of the bank deposits were $7,482.69, making the total amount of available funds on that date $13,541.53, which agrees with the amount as represented on the balance sheet. The bank accounts have been carefully checked and verified, which also agree with the amount as shown on the reports.GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.17

“At the time of commencing this work, I was directed by those in authority to make as thorough an examination as practicable, in order that the actual condition of the accounts might be reported. The accounts in this report which you will no doubt be more particularly interested in is the Notes Receivable and Notes Payable. With these I have prepared a detailed statement, which will facilitate giving information that may be desired.GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.18

“I find the office records and accounts generally in a favorable condition, having been kept in an intelligible manner, the cash balanced each day, and the accounts correctly balanced at the close of each month; and in submitting this report I am prepared to say that the statement read here to-day by Mr. C. D. Rhodes, Treasurer, is a true report of the office.GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.19

“Very Respectfully,GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.20

“R. H. CADWALADER, Auditor,“GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.21

R. H. Cadwalader: If anyone desires any information in regard to any part of the accounts, all the courtesies of the office will be extended to him. I am sure Mr. Rhodes will give all the information necessary.GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.22

The Chair: The matter is now before you. What is your pleasure with the Treasurer’s report, having heard the Auditor’s statement.GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.23

A. Moon: I move that the report be accepted.GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.24

J. H. Morrison: I second the motion.GCB April 17, 1901, page 293.25

The Chair: The question is now open for remarks.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.1

A. Moon: I would like to call attention to that item of the unissued stock simply to ask for information. How long should that continue to appear as a liability? Is there not a time limit when that should be stricken out?GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.2

C. D. Rhodes: It is not a liability, any more than the capital stock is a liability, or the surplus for that matter. These figures represent the institution, its brick and machinery and other investments. If we should issue this stock and give it to the stockholders, it would simply be putting it from one account into another. It represents what the institution owes the stockholders.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.3

A. Moon: The question is whether there is not a limit to the time when stock should be issued, and when this unissued stock would cease to appear upon the books, simply from the fact that there is a limit by law.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.4

C. D. Rhodes: This time limit ended several years ago. Perhaps the stockholders will not understand in regard to this item near the close of the report, under the heading of “Stock not Issued,” $61,647.27. Brother Moon wants to know how long we should carry it that way. I might explain from what this amount is made up. It is the surplus of the old association and the old capital stock added together. This amount left belonged to stockholders who have disappeared. We have not been able to find them. We published their names in the Review, and carried out the requirements of the law in that respect, until they have forfeited all their rights to it; so, consequently, this $61,647.27 belongs to the present stockholders. This properly should be divided up among the stockholders; but it will require considerable work, and would not amount to very much to any one of the stockholders. I brought the matter up on the board last year, and after considering the thing quite fully, they thought it would be just as well to let it stand this way, as to put it into more shares, as we have no trouble in doing our business any way. If the institution runs on into a new corporation, then it would be time enough to do it. However, this matter will be left with you, and if you so direct, we can have this done.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.5

J. D. Gowell: How much stock in the salesroom is really available, and how much of it is old unavailable stock?GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.6

C. D. Rhodes: I can not give you the exact figures, but there is probably in the neighborhood of ten to twelve thousand dollars worth of old stock in the salesroom that is still in the invoice. Each year, for the last few years, we have taken out from two to four thousand dollars’ worth of old stock. We still have some on hand. Some of this may prove to be good stock before we get through. It consists of a lot of foreign books that have not yet had a sale, but we may be able to sell it some time.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.7

F. D. Starr: I would like to ask if the first amount reported,—real estate,—covers all that is owned in land and buildings. Is not that a less amount than has been previously reported?GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.8

C. D. Rhodes: We sold one lot last year, which makes the amount a few hundred dollars less than it was a year ago, but that is all.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.9

F. D. Starr: I thought perhaps you had put it in at a less valuation.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.10

C. D. Rhodes: We have kept our real estate invoiced at just the same, and allowed the repairs and such things to maintain this value. If we sell on a a piece of land, the value is reduced accordingly.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.11

M. B. Miller: What do we understand to be personal property?GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.12

C. D. Rhodes: That represents the machinery and everything movable that would come in as personal property, outside of what is mentioned there in the way of type, and such things having an account by themselves.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.13

Here the Chair put the motion on the adoption of the Treasurer’s report, and it was carried.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.14

It was moved by Allen Moon, and seconded, that the Auditor’s report be adopted.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.15

Carried.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.16

The Chair here called for the report of the Committee on Plans and Resolutions, which was read by R. A. Underwood, as follows:—GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.17

“1. Resolved, That the stockholders express their gratitude to God for his fostering care, and for the measure of prosperity that has attended the publishing work the past year, and that we hereby express our desire to have more attention given to the development and training of workers, especially suitable persons to bear responsibility in connection with the publishing work in other parts of the world.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.18

“2. Whereas, Our people are greatly encouraged to learn of the progress of the work in the various Conference, and,—GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.19

“Whereas, The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald is the church paper to go to all English-speaking Sabbath-keepers; therefore,—GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.20

“Resolved, That we invite the editors of the Review and Herald to secure from the State papers, or otherwise, frequent, condensed reports of the progress of the work in the various Conferences, and publish the same in the Progress Department of the Review.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.21

“Whereas, There is need of a more thorough and systematic distribution of the truth by means of small tracts: therefore—GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.22

“3 Resolved, That a series of small tracts suited for mailing in envelopes, covering the salient features of the message in a brief and concise manner, be prepared and furnished for free distribution:—GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.23

“(a) That, to encourage a large circulation of these, they be furnished at the cost of production.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.24

“(b) That when a church or society orders one thousand or more, it may the privilege of furnishing announcements of local meetings and interests sufficient to occupy the last page.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.25

“(e) That one page of each tract be devoted to advertising our leading publications.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.26

The Chair: You have heard the report of the Committee on Plans and Resolutions. What is your pleasure with reference to the reporter?GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.29

W. C. White: I move its adoption:GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.30

R. M. Kilgore: I second the motion:GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.31

The Chair: It has been moved and seconded that the report be adopted.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.32

The first item of the report was read, and the question called.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.33

The second resolution was read, and remarks made on it as follows:—GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.34

F. D. Starr: Wouldn’t such information be a little more fresh if it came directly from the laborers, instead of waiting until they have had time to print it in the State paper? It seems to me it is old enough as it is. It is usually about a month from the time the laborers reports before it gets into the Review; and if it has to pass through the State papers first, it makes it still more ancient.GCB April 17, 1901, page 294.35

W. C. White: I move to amend that motion so that it shall read, “to obtain from the workers in the field.” That will leave the way open for the editors to get fresh reports.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.1

Allen Moon: I second the motion to amend.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.2

The Chair put the motion on the amendment, which was carried.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.3

S. H. Lane: I think that our people everywhere would be better pleased if the Review and Herald could give up-to-date news with regard to our work everywhere; but it is impossible for the editors to do so unless those in the field report. There is some danger of making the Review too local; it could not be expected that the Review and Herald would be as local in its reports as are the State papers, and yet I think every one of us would testify that our people in every State are intensely interested in the State paper, from the fact that it does give local news. There are general items which may, in a measure be called local, that would interest our people everywhere. Years ago we who used to take the Review used to look at the last page the first thing. We wanted to know where Brother Andrews was, and what Brother White was doing; where J. H. Waggoner was. It is impossible for the paper to name our laborers now as it did back yonder; but the other extreme is to shut every such thing out. I believe we should take a medium course, and I hope the editors will do so in the future. I think one reason why many have quit reporting is that they have thought it would not be printed; but if it is recommended, I believe our good editors will do everything they can to print it, and I would like to see it done as far as consistent with the growth of our denomination.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.4

Wm. Covert: I think one reason why we get so few reports through the Review and Herald is because they are rather ancient when they get into the papers. There is so much on hand that there is not room for it until it has become stale. If we could have it fresh, we would try to boil it down.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.5

W. C. White: In this busy age, people want everything condensed and summarized. There was a time when there was room in the Review for a full copy of the daily diary of every minister in the denomination. The day is past when the world is hungry for reports telling us that Brother A and Brother B went to such a town, pitched a tent on such a day, held meetings so many days, preached on such and such subjects, and left a good interest with the prospect that three or four would keep the Sabbath; then they went to another town on such a day. The time for diary reports is passed. What our people want is summaries. They want reports from the State secretaries, summarizing the general movements of interest, and general summarized reports of the work as far as may be. We all read the Review of Reviews. We don’t sympathize with the editor of that paper in his love for Russia, or in his craze for spiritualism. In fact, we are shocked at many things, yet we all read the Review of Reviews whenever we can get hold of it. Why?—Because it takes up one line after another, and summarizes in a few words information covering whole nations. He gives us the latest thing that has happened in Great Britain and the English colonies, the latest movement in Germany and Russia, and gives a world-wide view in a few pages. It is no use for us to ask the editors of the Review for diary reports, but we must make provisions in our different States to furnish them summaries. We ought to do it, brethren. It is justice to the cause. Every State and mission ought to provide that its secretaries furnish summary reports, and they will give us matter in the Review all alive, all intensely interesting, and which will be instructive.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.6

A. T. Jones: From experience I can certify that it will take considerable to get reports that are worth anything, or reports that are wanted. The Spirit of prophecy sent definite instruction, I think something over a year ago, to all our workers, what to report in the Review. A copy was sent, I think, to every worker in the world. Yet not one such report has the Review ever received—not one. Now if you think that the editors have more power than the Spirit of God to get these things, all right; if you can furnish the power that will get the reports, all right. But when the Lord can not get those reports, when he tells us just what kind of reports that are wanted, how can the editors get it? The kind of reports called for by the Spirit of prophecy is personal experiences in the conversion of souls, in the forgiveness of sins, and victories in the Christian life. Brother Ballenger was sending such reports before that call was made, and he did not cease to send them; but no other person has sent any. The editors of the Review would be glad to fill pages with such reports.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.7

The question was called.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.8

The Chair: The question is called.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.9

The next.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.10

The Chair: The question is before you. Any remarks? The question is called.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.11

The next.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.12

R. A. Underwood: Mr. Chairman, I would like to say a word upon two points. “When a church or society orders one thousand or more, it may have the privilege of furnishing announcements for local meetings and interests sufficient to occupy the last page.”GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.13

Our tracts usually give the address of the Pacific Press or the Review and Herald, hundreds or thousands of miles away. The distance is so great that the people say, “Well, I can not write there,” they do not know anything about the work in their own city. It will be a very small additional expense in preparing them. We have prepared some of these in Philadelphia, and had them printed there. But the Review and Herald or Pacific Press could prepare these at less cost in getting out large editions, and they could be used in many places. The different tract societies could furnish this matter distributed by the consumers, leaving the last page of the tract free from being printed till ordered by some society.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.14

There is another point I want to notice,—that the State tract society be encouraged to furnish these tracts free to their regular self-supporting canvassing agents.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.15

When a State tract society shall order a large amount of these small tracts, the State tract society could put on the last page a notice of their headquarters in the State, and that all books can be furnished the reader at their office. There will be a small margin coming to the State tract society by this retail trade. You may say, “That should come to the publishing houses,” and that the tract societies do not need this thirty per cent, or twenty-five per cent, or whatever it may be. If the tract society will furnish a large amount of these small tracts, to be distributed by their faithful canvassers, so that in every home that a canvasser visits he can leave one of these pamphlets, it may be the only means that God will use to bring that family to the truth; and if that little tract has a list of the books,—“Thoughts on Daniel.” “Great Controversy,” etc., and many smaller books, if they are interested, they will write to the office, and this will furnish the tract society some remuneration to keep this work going. It will also be a connection between the work done by the canvasser and the State tract society, and it seems to me much good will be accomplished if this is generally worked out.GCB April 17, 1901, page 295.16

F. D. Starr: I would like to ask if that could not be used in advertising camp-meetings and tent-meetings in large cities.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.1

R. A. Underwood: I do not know any reason why this could not be used. I would suggest, however, that if one were ordering for a camp-meeting, of course the good judgment of the committee or the brethren in charge would select the tract that would be most favorable to awaken an interest, and that would not in any way set up a dispute over the Sabbath question or anything of that kind. But I do not see any reason why it should not be done.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.2

[Delegates: Question.]GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.3

The Chair: The question is called.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.4

Read the next.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.5

C. D. Rhodes: As our time is so short, I would not be in favor of considering this last item at this meeting, because it is something that is very important, and if the stockholders vote for us to do it, I believe that the board should do it. Sometimes at these meetings we vote for something which we never undertake. I do not believe in that way of doing, but if you want this thing done, the board should go ahead this coming year and attend to it. It ought to be considered very carefully.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.6

W. C. White: I believe that the time has fully come for the stockholders to give this matter diligent thought, and to express themselves definitely upon it. The boards of management of our different publishing houses have considered it for a series of years, and we know some things about this. We know that it is not a movement that will naturally increase the earnings of our associations. We know that it means care and burden, it means expense and anxiety. It probably means an injury to our balance sheet. On the other hand, we believe that it means the salvation of many of our young people, guarding them from temptations which are very strong about them. We believe it will mean a better education, development of better characters, the fitting up of stronger workers, and that it will, in fact, be a step in harmony with the other educational efforts of this people. Therefore we believe it is right, and that it ought to be taken hold of as a solemn duty, knowing beforehand that it will necessarily be an expense to the institution, and that as far as finance is concerned, its benefits will not be direct, but will come indirectly, and in the future years give better workmanship, clearer moral perceptions, stronger Christian characters, and salvation of souls from sin and from demoralization. I believe we ought to do it.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.7

In a meeting in our Publishers Council a strong appeal was made to our brethren representing the field, to select the very choicest of our young people, and send them in here to become the workmen in our publishing houses. In face of all the circumstances, can we do this until the provision contemplated in this resolution has been put into actual force? Can we do this until we know that the same sense of responsibility rests with the trustees of the Publishing Association as with the managing board and the faculty of our schools regarding the intellectual and moral welfare of the employees? I question very much whether any exhortation that may be put forth will move the hearts of our responsible men from the Conference to select their brightest young men and women and send them in here, or into any place where we have a large printing establishment, until the managers of the establishment have taken up this burden, and have provided a boarding home which shall have connected with it evening classes, so that it may be truly an educational establishment. When that is done, the way will be opened for us to select and send in the young people whom we wish to be trained in this business, and fitted for taking important positions both at home and abroad. I sincerely hope that this resolution will be adopted, with a full sense of all that it means to us, and that its execution will be taken up by the board of managers, and carried forward without further delay.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.8

C. M. Christiansen: I heartily endorse this recommendation. I am satisfied the trustees the past year felt the need of a home for their workers. It seems to me, brethren, that all our institutions ought to be training schools for our young people. I believe it is proper that we should have a home where these young people could be properly looked after and cared for, getting the proper training. I trust the delegates present will have sufficient time to study this question properly to act upon it. I am satisfied those of us who are now connected with institutions in this place, feel the need of homes provided for our young people, where they can have the proper care, where they can have a father and a mother to look after, and help them. Many of our young people come here, and because this lack of training, are left at loose ends and go astray. For these reasons I heartily favor the resolution.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.9

F. D. Starr: Can this be carried out without erecting more large buildings in Battle Creek?GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.10

S. H. Lane: I do not arise to answer that question. We have contemplated this subject to quite an extent, and the very fact that it might be necessary to build has been a barrier in our procedure. We have not thought it best to build up; but if the Lord wants a home here (and I am inclined to think he does), and there is no building that can be obtained, then certainly he wants us to build. But the probabilities are that something can be obtained.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.11

I have been in the field, and I have been in the office; and I can certainly testify that we do need bright, young converted men and women in our office. I want to emphasize that one specification, converted. A good many come to us in the office, and say, “My son is bright, but he is being drawn toward the world. We would like to have you take him in.” We ask, “Did he ever make a profession of religion?”GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.12

“No, but he wants to keep the Sabbath. If he can not get into our institution, he will have to go somewhere else.” Thus we are beset on every hand in this way.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.13

I believe that a home is an imperative necessity. Some one twelve, fourteen, or sixteen years of age is sent here, and he drifts into this family or the other, where he hears many things that he should not hear. He runs across a diversity of spirits, and is drawn astray. If a home could be erected or obtained, and the right kind of family put in, and a good influence thrown around these young people, then the best of our young people could be brought in, and it would be but a little while before we would have a good class of workers, who could go to any part of the world, and properly represent the truth. The spirit in the Review office would change, too, and I believe that is what the Lord wants. I think the Lord’s blessings will attend the carrying out of this resolution. We should consider it carefully, in a way by which we may build up the cause.GCB April 17, 1901, page 296.14

W. C. White: I believe in this, as in many other things, where we see a duty and an apparent necessity conflicting with other views of duty standing in the way, it is often our conception of difficulties rather than the difficulties themselves, which hinders our action.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.1

I wish to call attention to the fact that our educators, the men who are conducting our schools, and who have had to do with various boarding schools great and small, are many of them coming to the opinion that our large boarding halls are not nearly so advantageous for the students as a group of smaller, moderate-sized homes. I have been brought in close connection with teachers who have had to do with the government of schools, where there was one large home, and later on with schools where there were two homes; these and others who have had opportunity to observe, have expressed to me very clearly and emphatically their conviction that in the building of future schools, we should have two, three, or four homes, rather than one large one. A home in a building no more than two stories high, where a man and his wife can act as father and mother of the family, and have in that family no more persons than they can take a personal interest in, is vastly better for your children who may be sent to work in the Review and Herald or the Pacific Press, than a large building accommodating fifty to one hundred persons, with a preceptor and preceptress, who are only brought in contact with these young people in a very slight way, in the form of government. There is, in fact, very little genuine home life about it. I believe that the managers of our printing houses will find it possible to take buildings already built, and group together from twenty to thirty members in their families, and do a better work for them than can be done by a big establishment.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.2

[Voices: Amen!]GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.3

C. H. Jones: Mr. Chairman, I am deeply interested in this question, because it reaches farther than the Review and Herald Office.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.4

The Chair: Yes, it is general in its nature.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.5

C. H. Jones: It is a live question with the Pacific Press Office as well. We have had some experience in this line. When I first connected with the Pacific Press, we had a boarding house, and continued to have for several years. Why did we give it up? Your attention has been called to some of the things which stand in the way. There were perplexities and difficulties connected with the management of such a home, which seemed almost insurmountable. One trouble was, we could not find proper persons at that time to take charge of the homes. We tried different ones, this one and that, but to get persons who would take a real fatherly and motherly interest in the employees, was almost impossible. They were hard to find.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.6

I heartily endorse what Brother White has said in regard to smaller homes. It seems to me that God’s ideal in this matter is the family,—the home where children can have the instruction of father and mother. The nearer we can come to that in caring for our young people in these institutions, the better it will be. They want personal culture. They want persons who will take a personal interest in them, who will counsel with them. Young people are not perfect, any more than the rest of us. They are young and developing, and temptations come to them. They are liable to go astray, and to make mistakes in judgment. They need counsel and instruction, and some one to whom they can go as to a father or a mother,- some one who will not sit down on them so hard every time they go wrong, that they will become discouraged and feel like giving up. They need persons who will help them to rise again if they fall, and take a real fatherly and motherly interest in them. I can see light in this suggestion of bringing a few together in families.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.7

We discontinued our boarding house, as I stated before, because we could not find proper persons to take care of the employees. At least we thought we could not find them. Yet we have been told that we ought to have institutions of this kind connected with our publishing houses, and I believe we had ought to move out in that direction. We thought we had an excuse for giving it up at that time, which was that we could place them around in homes where they could be surrounded with good influences, and where the conditions for the development of the young people in right lines would be more ideal than it could be in one large boarding house. This was true, if we could have got the proper homes for them. But it is difficult to find sufficient homes where the heads of the family will take an interest in those who are within their home equal to the interest they manifest in their own children. Indeed, we find many who do not look after their own as they ought to be looked after; and how can we expect them to take an interest in others, to look after them, and counsel with them as they ought to be counseled. So I believe this resolution is right, that it ought to be carried out, and God will, in some way, open up the way so that it can be carried out if we will trust him. I am heartily in favor of the resolution.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.8

The Chair: I would like to say for myself that I am heartily in favor of the resolution.GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.9

R. M. Kilgore: As a stockholder, I would like to present a memorial. By vote of the Southern Union Conference, I was requested to present this memorial, and before reading it I wish to read a statement made here before you on the stand. Page 70 of the BULLETIN: “As it has been presented before me. The Southern field has been so long neglected that the cries of distress have gone up to heaven, and there never can be a clearance of our people until that field shall have fourfold more than any other field should have. They must have it because they have nothing with which to carry forward their work. From the light that God has given me, our people will never stand before him, until they redeem the past.” The Memorial which was presented by vote of the Southern Union Conference, is as follows:-GCB April 17, 1901, page 297.11
